I like Deals as much as the next guy... but is it good business to have so many internet Deal sites??

[url=http://www.LivingSocial.com][/url]
[url=http://www.Groupon.com][/url]

I am starting to feel cheated when I pay full price anymore. How are these businesses even making it? Does anyone else use these sites?

Appreciative... but confused...

And you forgot the Entertainment book and restaurant.com and the various local ones sponsored by charities.

I have used Groupon on a few occasions. You pay $25 for a $50 deal. You them end up running a $75-80 bill ... and you have saved $25.

These site generate a LOT of incremental business. If the businesses do a good job, people return. If they DON'T, people will not return.
